Our Book Bench is a cozy, hopeful podcast where youth and grown-ups read together and share stories. Hosted by Lisa and David, this intergenerational book club invites families, grandparents, guardians, mentors, and young readers to slow down, connect, and rediscover the joy of books in a screen-filled world. Each week, we read a section of a book and gather on the bench to share favorite moments, surprising twists, and big questions. Our goal is simple: to spark imagination and meaningful conversations between young readers and the adults who care about them. Season 1 is now complete! We began our journey with The Poisoned King by Katherine Rundell, the sequel to Impossible Creatures. Whether you’ve read the first book or are joining new, our early episodes include a recap so everyone can jump right in. New seasons follow a book club format, with weekly Sunday episodes featuring ref

Episode #1
Season 3 Kickoff: We're Reading The Neverfear (feat. David's Recap of Books 1 & 2)
Sep 20, 202612 minS3
Season 3 is here! This season, Lisa and David are reading The Neverfear, the brand-new third book in Katherine Rundell's Impossible Creatures series. Before we start the book, David, who reread the series to get ready, walks us through the story so far. He recaps the first two books: how an ordinary kid named Christopher gets pulled into the Archipelago in Impossible Creatures , and how the runaway princess Anya joins the story in The Poisoned King . Expect phoenixes, a dragon that fits on your thumb, and one question David can't stop thinking about: how is a whole book named after a ship he's pretty sure got destroyed? We're also introducing the question we'll come back to all season long: being brave isn't the same as not being afraid. We'll be watching for the moments when a character is scared… and does the hard thing anyway. This week's reading: pages 1–45 (American hardback edition) — from The Birth of a Unicorn through Carla Venasque. ️ Full reading schedule: ourbookbench.com This week's question: Who are you reading with this season — a kid, a grown-up, a friend? Email hello@ourbookbench.com or comment on Instagram @ourbookbench . We read every one. Grab your copy of The Neverfear , or check it out from your library, and read along with us. New here? Welcome — pull up a spot at the bench. -- Quick note if you're new: we read these a little out of order — we did The Poisoned King in Season 1 and Impossible Creatures in Season 2. For today's recap, though, we're walking through the story the way it was written, first book first, so it all lines up before we start The Neverfear .

Season 3 Teaser: The Neverfear
Sep 6, 20262 min
Season 3 is (almost) here — and we could not wait to tell you what's next. This fall, Lisa and David are heading back to the Archipelago for The Neverfear , the brand-new third book in Katherine Rundell's Impossible Creatures series. And David has one very important question going in: last season, he was pretty sure the Neverfear got destroyed … so how does a whole book end up named after it? Time to find out. Here's your one job this week: grab a copy of The Neverfear and get ready to read it with us. We kick off Season 3 on September 20th — whether you've been with us since book one or you're brand new, pull up a spot at the bench. Full reading schedule coming soon at ourbookbench.com.

The Book, The Movie, and What Comes Next
Jul 1, 202612 min
We did something fun for our final Bridge to Terabithia episode — we finished the book, then watched the movie together. In this mini season finale, Lisa and David talk about what the film got right, why (as always) they think the book is better, and how you get through a story this tender all the way to the end. They also look back on the whole summer mini season — the good, the honest, and the surprisingly hard parts of reading together when the routine falls apart — and share a first look at what's coming this fall, as Our Book Bench turns one. Did you read Bridge to Terabithia with us, or watch the movie? We'd love to hear what you thought.

The Best Day, The Worst Day, and What Jess Chooses Next
Jun 22, 202622 min
The World Can Be Beautiful and Devastating at the Same Time Chapter ten is called "The Perfect Day" — and it really is. Then chapter eleven begins. In this episode, Lisa and David sit with the chapters that make this book unforgettable: the joy right before everything changes, the grief that comes in waves, and what Jess Aarons does with it at the very end. David leads the hardest part of the conversation, and they come back to a question from Episode 1 that means something different now. This week's question: When have you chosen to do something beautiful — or kind, or generous — even when something hard had just happened? We'll be coming back to your answers in our final episode.

Giants & Grace: What Makes Jess a Remarkable Friend
Jun 15, 202618 min
In chapters five through eight, Jess Aarons keeps doing something quietly remarkable — he changes his mind. About Janice Avery, the bully who hurt someone he loves. About Leslie's unconventional dad. About what it costs to help someone who hasn't earned it. In this episode, Lisa and David talk about what makes Jess more thoughtful than the people around him realize, what the right Christmas gift says about a friendship, and why Terabithia doesn't work the same when you're there alone. Plus, our first listener write-in of the mini season, from Kim in Nebraska. This week's question: Has anyone ever given you a gift that said "I see who you really are"? We'd love to hear from you.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
